Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsThis is all too much for me.
I can't anymore...
I just can't...
Do you understand how difficult it is for me, after typing out a long post, to go back and correct every time I typed "i" instead of the word "I"? For example, correcting "i went to the store" corrected to "I went to the store".
And sometimes I have to make this correction 5 or 6 times! Do you have any idea how much of my day that eats up?
How do people deal with this problem? How do you get through this? Therapy?
Maybe that's the answer...therapy.
I just can't bear this burden anymore.
No person should be subject to this kind of stress.

(727 posts)I've asked for patience and forgiveness from everyone I text with and they have agreed to interpret my txts with "o" instead of "i" if it makes more sense that way

Maybe if we go as a package deal, we can get a discount!

Lucky went to the store. What did Lucky get?
Marthe, when I can't remember someone's name, I call them Jimmy.
Man or woman. They are Jimmy until I remember their name.
A guy I used to work with called everyone "Fishlips".

Now the stress has been transferred to the people who can't stand bad grammar!
